Persistent Cost of Lipschitz Maps

A $1$-Lipschitz map between compact metric spaces $f\colon X\to Y$ induces a homomorphism of persistence modules on degree-$d$ Vietoris--Rips persistent homology. We define the persistent cost of $f$ from this induced homomorphism by quantifying the persistence carried by its kernel and cokernel modules. We prove that the persistent cost controls the interleaving distance between the degree-$d$ Vietoris--Rips persistent homology modules of $X$ and $Y$. Moreover, we obtain an explicit upper bound for the persistent cost in purely metric terms. Finally, we give a self-contained proof of the stability of the persistent cost introducing a Gromov-Hausdorff type distance for maps between compact metric spaces.

A Note On Polar Representations

We show how a polar representation of a compact connected Lie group can be linearly determined from its dimension and isotropy subgroup data in the general reducible case.

Representations with $Sp(1)^k$-reductions and quaternion-Kähler symmetric spaces

We classify non-polar irreducible representations of connected compact Lie groups whose orbit space is isometric to that of a representation of a finite extension of $Sp(1)^k$ for some $k>0$. It follows that they are obtained from isotropy representations of certain quaternion-Kähler symmetric spaces by restricting to the "non-$Sp(1)$-factor".

Low Dimensional Polar Actions

Polar manifolds are Riemannian G-manifolds admitting a "section", i.e., a complete submanifold passing through every orbit and doing so orthogonally. We consider compact simply-connected polar manifolds and achieve an equivariantly diffeomorphic classification in dimensions 5 or less. As an application, we determine which of these polar actions admit an invariant metric with non-negative curvature.
